Description AlanR1138 2019-07-08 22:30:04 UTC
Description:
Calc appears to copy only the raw text and not the formatted text and other formatting data to the clipboard.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a table in Calc.
2. Highlight the data.
3. Ctrl-C
4. Give Scribus focus with an open document. (Not in a text box.)
5. Ctrl-V


Actual Results:
Nothing is inserted.

Expected Results:
A vector object duplicating the formatting of table is inserted into the document.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes


OpenGL enabled: Yes

Additional Info:
This workflow worked for several years with various versions of LibreOffice and Scribus. After updating from LO 6.1.5.2 to 6.2.4.2 it fails. It also fails with 6.2.5.2. Reverting to 6.1.5.2 corrects the failure.

Plain text is still able to be pasted into a text box.

I tested against multiple versions of Scribus on both Gentoo Linux and Windows 10.
